Now Open At 165 Greenpoint Avenue: The One Well
Today was the second day this— the newest business to open its doors in the Garden Spot— has been open. I took a few moments to chat with the very nice lass behind this “eco chic home and body boutique”: Kerry Jones. Not only is she a very nice lady, but I for one was rather excited when she mentioned she was interested in featuring art work from local artists! Follows is a review of what The One Well has to offer. Enjoy!

Greenpoint Halloween Watch: 97 Russell Street Represents!
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Stuff That Makes Miss Heather Happy
That’s right folks: the Halloween decorating (courtesy of a wonderfully sweet lady named Beverly) has begun.
It’s looking good!
Ghoulishly good!
As happenstance would have it, I bumped into the head of the 94th himself, Deputy Inspector Hurson, just around the corner on Driggs Avenue. I asked him if he had checked out this display. He had not. However, he did state that he had checked out 648 Humboldt Street. He was impressed— and rightfully so!
I took a moment to tell the folks responsible for this ever-growing display that I really liked the “day care” tableau (as seen above) and the girl in the pink dress reminded me of Courtney Love. They found this quite amusing— but added with a wink that this year might be their final run. I suspect I speak on the behalf of a number of north Brooklynites when I write:
Say it isn’t so!
To be continued…?
Spotted On Manhattan Avenue: Beauty!

It would appear she found her way back home! I suppose a hard-working gal at needs to cut lose on a Saturday occasionally.
Spotted On Manhattan Avenue: Beauty Is Lost!
That right folks: the stalwart tuxedo lass who has kept quiet watch over World of Flowers for as long as I an recall has gone MIA! If you have seen a cat bearing a resemblance to the above kitty (but, as is noted, a bit more rotund) please call Beauty’s “people” at the above-listed telephone number or swing by. Thanks!
People In My Neighborhood: The Corner Frenzy
The inimitable Manhattan Avenue soft-serve mistress (and all-around badass) Miriam enjoys a little “downtime” with the “company” (READ: her mother’s) i-Pad!
Spotted At 685 Manhattan Avenue: Lollipop
If my memory serves me correctly, these folks applied for— and Community Board 1 approved a license for this, Greenpoint’s first and only Vietnamese restaurant, to serve wine and beer. No suds just yet— but the menu (which you can see by clicking here) appears to be pretty vegetarian friendly. Check it out!
